## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations is a good indicator of the clinical efficacy of gefitinib in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer. It was recently reported that the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level could be a predictive

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The authors measured circulating vascular endothelial growth factorβC (VEGFβC) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in patients with primary nonsmall cell lung carcinoma and assessed its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for determining lymph node metastasis
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND It has been shown that receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) predict outcome in patients with breast carcinoma. Although RTKs are a large family, HERβ2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Met (hepatocyte growth factor receptor), and others all have shown the ability to p
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability. Increased serum VEGF concentrations (S-VEGF) have been found in patients with various types of human cancer, including cancer of the lung. However, the clinical and prognostic significance
The role of the epidermal-growth-factor receptor (EGFR) in cervical cancer is controversial, due to technical difficulties in localizing or in quantifying EGFR by homogenate assays or immunohistochemistry. Our autoradiographic approach, in combination with morphometry, allowed cell-type-specific qua
